Homosexual people say that they find the opposite genders’ genitalia to be ‘terrifying’-looking. Seriously? You’ve been out for two minutes, stop trying to jump on the false-stereotype bandwagon.
People go on and on and on about how they’re going to fail a test, knowing that they’re going to do quite well. You’re an attention whore, go sit in a corner with a burlap sack over you.
People look at the troubles they themselves have to deal with, and figure “Well if I did this, then you can obviously do something completely unrelated just fine, I don’t know what you’re complaining about.” Go peel a potato with another potato.
People view people who get mental health help to be weak or inferior. They are the strongest people I know for going to go get help.

And that’s the most frustrating thing about depression. It isn’t always something you can fight back against with hope. It isn’t even something — it’s nothing. And you can’t combat nothing. You can’t fill it up. You can’t cover it. It’s just there, pulling the meaning out of everything. That being the case, all the hopeful, proactive solutions start to sound completely insane in contrast to the scope of the problem.
It would be like having a bunch of dead fish, but no one around you will acknowledge that the fish are dead. Instead, they offer to help you look for the fish or try to help you figure out why they disappeared. — Allie Brosh, ‘Depression Part Two’ (x)

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has introduced her first piece of legislation. It’s called the Bank on Students Loan Fairness Act, and would reduce the rate students pay on federally-subsidized student loans for one year, from 3.4% to 0.75%.
Without congressional action, on July 1 the rate is set to double from 3.4% to 6.8%.
Warren brings up an interesting point – her bill simply asks students to pay the same rates that big banks pay for borrowing.
She’s literally just asking if college grads can get the same deal as bank CEOs. The exact same interest rate. Not even a bailout or anything fancy (pipe dreams!) - just the same interest rate.
